I was gonna ask "Are Mestizos settlers?" but I quickly realized that the answer to this question probably isn't black and white. If the answer to this isn't just "Yes" or "No" then what determines whether or not a Mestizo person is a settler?

By definition, Mestizo people have indigenous blood in their veins. Arguing over their status via genealogy is racial politics and should be rejected. What matters is simple; do the Mestizo people in question side with their indigenous nation against the settler nation? Those who identify with and fight for the indigenous side of their family have chosen their side. As Che argues, all of Latin America is one Mestizo people. The masses are one. The settler state is supported by a vanishingly small minority of people who self-identify as white settlers; these are the compradors with their boot on the peoples' neck on the behalf of international imperialism.
